(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Wendy Waldman)

Now hold on honey where did you come from
I never been so made about anyone
Smile lights up like a radio dial
You got no fashion but you sure got style

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight

I wanna hover you honey in a one way trap
Get you cornered in a cul-de-sac
My resistance just left the room
It's cold outside and there's a big ol' moon

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight

When you love someboy that you can't have
It's hell boy it's hell
When ya need somebody and you feel so bad
'Cause he's so good and he's so damn bad
Let's stay out late I won't tell
Let's break the rules tonight

I say yes when I should say no
And everybody says I told you so
But I don't care
'Cause it's too late
Here you come
And I can wait

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight

Kim Carnes

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
